OPTIMIZE TOLERANCES
FOR FIT AND FUNCTION
Rapidly model and simulate impacts of mechanical variations
with Enventive’s tolerance analysis software
Are mechanical variations costing too much in design effort, poor quality, and production disruptions?
Finding spreadsheets too difficult for tolerance stack-up analysis?
With Enventive, mechanical designers have the only software for variational analysis that optimizes tolerancing for both assembly fit and product functionality, such as forces, gaps, kinematics, friction, thermal changes, and deflections. Our customers design more profitable products and shorten time to market by cutting design and prototyping efforts, improving product quality, optimizing for robust product performance, and reducing costs of production and warranties. Paybacks can be within months and total to tens of millions of dollars.
Unlike spreadsheets and other traditional tolerance analysis tools, Enventive’s software accelerates decision making for allowable mechanical variations with intuitive visualizations, immediate statistical stack-up calculations, built-in equations, tolerance-in-motion studies, rapid what-if simulations, and interactive analysis reports showing ranked contributions of design parameters on failure rates.
BRING ROBUST PRODUCTS TO MARKET FASTER
Enventive® Concept stands out as the only tolerance analysis software for design optimization of geometry, dimensions, and tolerancing (GD&T) parameters for both assembly fit and functional performance, such as for forces, moments, gaps, kinematics, deflections, friction, thermal expansions, and much more.
With Concept, mechanical designers best balance manufacturing costs and robustness of a product’s functional performance while avoiding time-consuming redesigns and costly quality problems. Modeling and simulation capabilities include functional sketching, variational force modeling, kinematic animations, simultaneous equation solving, multi-criteria analysis, worst case stackups, RSS stackups, Monte Carlo simulations, automatic ranking of design parameter contributors, and more.
3D TOLERANCE ANALYSIS FOR FIT AND FUNCTION
Currently in beta testing, Enventive’s 3D&T is the only tolerance analysis software that opens 3D CAD models during late-CAD and post-CAD design phases to analyze the impacts of GD&T decisions on failure rates for both assembly fit and product functionality. Designers can quickly verify if a CAD model’s GD&T values will reliably meet product requirements, such as for forces, moments, motions, and gaps, before beginning prototyping and production.
ENTERPRISE TOLERANCE MANAGEMENT
Enventive 360 (currently in beta testing) is for enterprise-level management of GD&T parameters that are the most critical for robust assembly fit and functionality across stackups and product families. 360 is built for collaborative use by teams of mechanical designers, manufacturing engineers, and quality/metrology engineers as they make decisions for GD&T design values.
With Enventive 360, teams can import real-time metrology data and then what-if analyze the impacts of as-manufactured geometries and dimensions on failure rates for fit and functionality. With 360’s reports, team members can more effectively make time-sensitive decisions for engineering change orders and acceptance of supplier components.
